Last year MKARESQ hosted a ferret show in Michigan. Di Bachman attended this show, sponsored a ring, showed ferrets (received Best of Show) and had a table. Not one person told us that she had been ousted from the AFA or that she had dumped her ferrets. IF we had known this, she would not have been allowed to attend our show. It has been stated that the ferret community at large knew about this dumping back in '98 (?). Unfortunately, I was unaware of this. This year the organization that I belong to, Michigan Ferret Rescue & Adoption Network, Inc., hosted a show. Di Bachman was contacted and was even going to sponsor a ring. Again, no one came forward to tell us that we should have concerns about her. It was not until I read about the Hagerstown incident that all the dirt was revealed. In lieu of this, she will NEVER EVER be allowed to attend our shows. We will ban her from any and all functions relating to ferrets. What she did/has done in the past, is despicable. Mary G.
